Stagger Coffee

Tucked into a Koreatown strip mall, Stagger Coffee fits right in with the neighborhood’s growing collection of sleek, minimalist cafes. White shelving lines the walls, sand-colored ceramics dot the counters, and yes, there’s that requisite squiggly-framed mirror just waiting for your Instagram story. But beneath the aesthetically pleasing surface, this spot delivers where it counts: strong Wi-Fi and drinks that practically beg to be photographed.

The beverage menu leans heavily into cream-topped creations that blur the line between coffee drink and dessert. Their Double Matcha latte is no joke—premium matcha gets whisked into both the milk and the thick vanilla cream cap, delivering a bold, grassy punch with every sip. For something more indulgent, the Donut Latte arrives in a branded porcelain mug, piled high with cream and cocoa powder threatening to spill over the edges. It’s a dine-in only affair, but trust that it’s worth sticking around for.

Beyond the drinks, Stagger bakes small-batch pastries throughout the day. Time your visit right and you might catch a rack of golden, jumbo blueberry muffins emerging fresh from the oven just as you reach the counter. It’s the kind of happy accident that makes the inevitable wait in line feel worthwhile.

Whether you need a cozy spot to power through emails or just want a beautifully crafted drink to fuel your afternoon, Stagger Coffee delivers the Koreatown cafe experience in style. Come for the aesthetic, stay for the matcha—and maybe grab one of those muffins while you’re at it.
